As May approaches, it is becoming a bittersweet time for me. My daughter is graduating at the end of May and will be heading off to college in the fall. It seems like yesterday she was grasping my finger for the first time as an infant. Times were tough for us when she was a baby.As a single mother, I was working full-time during the day, getting a few hours of special time with her in the evenings and then it was off to night-time college courses for me. As I worked my way through college, I vowed to make it easier on her to get her degree than it was for me. From a very early age, I started researching and finding the right ways to easily save for the day she got her first acceptance letter.
